An episode of "As the World Turns" from 1961. This episode is about a mother's attempts to get her son back, who was adopted by another two people several years earlier. There are something which should be noted: Being a daytime program, the episode runs notably shorter than a prime-time series of the same era.

| ''The Edge of Night'' - October 16, 1958
A rare episode of the soap opera "The Edge of Night". Unusually well-directed for a late-1950s soapy, with some interesting camera angles. The print is obviously very beat-up, and possibly incomplete (though even back in the 1950s, daytime series had less minutes of actual show than prime-time series). The popular series aired from 1956 to 1984, but most of the pre-1978 episodes are lost. Please check your attic.

| Classic 1960s Drama: ''Search for Tomorrow'' 5th/September/1960
A Classic 1960s soap opera drama broadcast called "Search for Tomorrow" from 1960. Contains original commercials. Sorry for the abysmal sound quality, and also sorry for the poor picture quality. Not great TV, but an interesting curio. Does NOT feature a copyright notice, and was NOT submitted for copyright. WARNING: If you give this an idiotic "review", then I will eat you (this is a joke). Again, the sound quality is terrible.
